They are here!! Remember when I mentioned my new OTK boots I ordered, they arrived last week!! I can’t wait to wear these boots this winter. I hope you were able to grab a pair when I first mentioned them, because they are sold out again. It probably has something to do with the sweet under $100 price tag. These boots are definitely a super trendy item, and not something I was ready to spend $200+ on. It is always my thought process with trendy items. What if it’s a one hit wonder trend or what if I decide it’s not for me? My first pair of skinny jeans cost me like $20 when they were the hot new trend, and now I own like half a dozen or more pairs. Anyway, these over the knee boots are pretty fabulous for the price. One thing I wasn’t expecting was how tight they fit. They are not an uncomfortable tight, more of a these aren’t going to fall down kind of tight. These have a bootie at the base and the boot shaft is more added on material. I think it helps give some structure to the ankle area of the boot. The two main ways I plan to wear them is with dresses and skinny jeans. I’m short, so I have to keep an eye on the length of what I pair them with. This chunky knit sweater is the perfect tunic length for me. If I go to long with the top, the proportions will be off and I may come off looking shorter. If you are wearing a longer top, you may want to consider tucking it in.
I just picked up this sweater this weekend, while doing some New Year’s day shopping. The color caught my eye immediately. The knit is a mix of red, coral, and white. It stood out among the sea of gray, blue, and black. Don’t get me wrong, you know I love those colors, but I also like to grab new colors too. It brings a little color versatility to my wardrobe. I like this shade because I think it is going to work well with a few other colors to give me some good versatility. I hope ya’ll had a fun long weekend! Thanks for stopping by today!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!! I hope you all had a fabulous night whether you went out or stayed in. I am so excited for this relaxing day off with plans to cook up some black eyed peas and cabbage later today, and finish off some leftover Champagne from last night. Hello New Year mimosas!
This outfit was one that I had originally planned to wear for Christmas, but it was too warm for a sweater. I love layering, and this red sweater and light top work perfect together. Shorter sweaters are perfect basic winter layering pieces. I own a few different styles in different colors. You can layer them with solids or prints to create multiple outfits all season. I have paired this one with plaid here. I also pair my sweaters with sleeveless tunics and tanks that I wore during the summer. It’s a great way to keep wearing some of your favorite sleeveless tops when it’s cold out.
I hope ya’ll have a great first day of 2016! Thanks for swinging by today!
